CHILLY PLACE INDEED

Today I want to share with you some pictures I took in Budapest, Hungary. It was cold, very very cold, like -3ºC... But the thing is that we didn't expect such a beautiful and interesting place when we decided to visit it. Actually, that month we were very stressed because we were getting ready to move to the UK and we needed some kind of distraction... so what better than a short trip to a place which you don't know much about it! I mean, we knew about Budapest and its history but not as much as Paris or London for example.

We stayed in the city center and visited places such as Buda Castle Hill, Holocaust Memorial Center, Chain Bridge, the Parliament, Matthias Church, the Royal Palace, Heroes' Square, the Great Synagogue and the Buda caves. Even we had the opportunity to attend to the Budapest Opera House (a gorgeous building) to see 'Der fliegende Holländer' (The Flying Dutchman) by Richard Wagner.

Finally, we enjoy a relaxing day in the 'Széchenyi Baths' with its healing and warm waters (outdoors) while it was snowing... amazing!

Enjoy the pictures and comment bellow!

NOT JUST A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER... You may know that I'm mainly a wedding photographer but on my free time, when I go to a special place I usually grab my camera to photograph stunning landscapes. Also, if you often visit my blogs or my website you know that I strongly believe in printing your favourite images...

LORD NELSON'S FLAGSHIP | I needed to take a look at this gorgeous ship from the XVIII century (or as you brits say, 18th-century :D). I'm gonna have the pleasure of shooting an engagement session in this very location, so stay tuned and visit my wedding blog to see it soon. And what can I say? The restoration has been done really tastefully. When you come aboard you have that feeling of being transported to another time...

Just before this Sunday's Street Photography Experience I had some time to visit Fleet Pond again, but this time very early in the morning. It does't matter if it's winter, spring, summer or autumn, Fleet Pond always looks stunning!

Last Sunday I had a lovely day with Lauren, owner of Lahu Studios. We wanted to enjoy a day off taking images together and we decided to go to London to do a little bit of street photography. As you may know Lauren and I are wedding photographers, but sometimes is great to get out of our comfort zone and do something different, just for fun.

COMING BACK TO WALES This week in Wales has been really weird weather-wise. Storm Imogen brought strong winds, plenty of rain, snow and some sunshine when it was gone. Nevertheless, I had the opportunity to enjoy the welsh country and visit amazing places with beautiful lighting. This was the second time that I've been in Wales. Last year was the first and I was really impressed (Take a look at my first post about Wales). I knew Wales is beautiful but I didn't expect either so much beauty and what happened when I came back to Hampshire...

Exactly, one year ago my partner came across Gwarllwyn B&B searching for a beautiful place to stay while we visited Brecon Beacons National Park in Carmarthenshire, Wales. And we were so happy and comfortable that we decided to stay there again this year to celebrate our 10th anniversary...

Today I wanted to retrieve from my archive some images from one of the most interesting trips. I went to Marrakesh seven years ago and I felt in love with the city. As a proper tourist I visited places like the popular Jemaa el-Fnaa, Koutoubia Mosque, the souks, Ben Youssef Madrasa...

Yesterday I was taking a look at my archive when I came across this images which I completely forgot about and I thought, I have to share this on my blog! Shame on me... Well, the thing is that I went to the isle of Wight (which I truly love). And yes, the day was lovely. Kind of cloudy though, but lovely. And the surprise came when we saw a lot of yacht because the 'Round the island race' was taking place or maybe finishing that very day...

Yesterday I grabbed my camera and I head off to Fleet Road to visit the Fleet festivities (Fleet Christmas Festival). I enjoyed some gluhwein and some lovely food from several tents across the street. I have to say that there were hundreds of people (or more) there, even sometimes was difficult to walk...
